When we say that the race cooler might be a bit much we mean that in two ways: 1) financially speaking-At the end of the day the race cooler is substantially more expensive. We know this but the core is substantially larger so the cost is going to be more. I firmly believe in the philosophy that if you don't need to spend the money, why spend it? If you don't plan on driving your car hard on the race track then the street cooler will be fine for you. 2) Streetability- With the race oil cooler in particular you will want to have a thermostatic plate installed. We will have this option soon, we're just trying to find a source so that we can be competitively priced. As it stands right now you can pick up a thermostatic plate for pretty cheap from sources like Amazon.

It is possible to have your oil run too cold. 180-200 degrees is pretty much optimum and realistically 180 is on the cool side.
Thanks for the info and recommendations Kyle
